Genes affected
PPT1 (HGNC:9325): (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 110 of the PPT1 protein (p.Asn110Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs142894102, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (PMID: 30541466). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 196249). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PPT1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The observed missense c.329A>G (p.Asn110Ser) variant in PPT1 gene has been reported previously in multiple individuals affected with PPT1-related disorders (Sheth et al., 2018; Atli et al., 2022; Ozturk et al., 2022). The p.Asn110Ser variant is present with allele frequency of 0.02% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/ Uncertain Significance (multiple submissions). Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid of p.Asn110Ser in PPT1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Asn at position 110 is changed to a Ser changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Additional functional studies will be required to prove the pathogenicity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Reported in the heterozygous state in a patient with cognitive impairment, ADHD, and epilepsy in the published literature; however, a second PPT1 variant was not identified (PMID: 33528079); Observed in a homozygous state in a patient with episodic torticollis and sudden cardiac arrest who also harbored another homozygous variant in a gene related to the phenotype (PMID: 35693655); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 30541466, 33528079, Bhavsar2016[CaseReport], 35693655) -

Variant summary: PPT1 c.329A>G (p.Asn110Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00019 in 1613988 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PPT1 causing Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (0.00019 vs 0.0014), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.329A>G has been observed in a homozygous individual affected with Neuronal Ceroid-Lipofuscinosis (Batten Disease) (Sheth_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. However, this variant has also been observed in a homozygous individual from a consanguineous family affected with Childhood Onset Neurodegeneration with Ataxia and Seizures, yet with a normal PPT1 level, who was also homozygous for a variant in the ADPRHL2 gene (c.235A>C, p.T79P) which may explain the phenotype (Ozturk_2022). In addition, the variant has also been reported as a heterozygous genotype in an individual affected with cognitive impairment, ADHD, and epilepsy (Atli_2022). Thus, these reports do not allow for significant association with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 10%-<30% of normal activity (Sheth_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33528079, 30541466, 35693655). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 196249). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.329A>G (p.N110S) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PPT1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 329, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 110 to be replaced by a serine (S). The in silico prediction for the p.N110S alteration is inconclusive. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
